So my Berserker ate a hit when I was sure I blocked perfectly. Thanks to shadowplay I recorded the moment and found something interesting - even though I commanded to block left side, the guard somehow got up for top. Here's how it looks after I figured out how to reproduce this:

So far I only noticed this happening when you dash. I was also testing blocking/parrying 2nd light of PK with zerker. When I have guard on my left and I eat top light, I can easily block 2nd light from my right. However trying to parry it would always make it hit me instead. I think this is different issue - unless you can explain more how and when it happens?

IM NOT CRAZY!!!! I hate reflex guard it is stupid and glitchy. It needs to be removed. The assassins are not fast enough or damaging enough to warrant such a defensive penalty. As an orochi I am always dashing thus preventing me from guarding anything.

Well you have to keep in mind that Assassins are the most consistent class currently in For Honor. Every single Assassin class, with the odd exception of sometimes Berserker and sometimes Orochi does very well in tournaments.

It is HIGHLY unlikely we will see a response from ubi regarding this. Its been present for weeks, there have been quite a few posts, and 0 responses from ubi, here or on the main sub. This is a legitimately difficult technical issue for them to work out and at this point im pretty sure they are incapable of such a feat.

Thanks, I was indeed able to repro it with some practice. Side note: for the dodge one you don't need to wait for the initial guard to fade to do the dodge (makes it faster to repro by just chaining them quickly)

Edit: can't do it on gamepad though, only on keyboard; also timing isn't that strict, it just doesn't always happen... I can have it happen after waiting several seconds after the dodge to change the guard
